Objective: Ipomoea mauritiana is used in both Ayurveda and folk medicine systems. The tuberous roots are known to be diuretic, depurative, carminative, and anthelmintic. The objective of the current study was to identify phenolic antioxidants from I . mauritiana using spectrophotometric and LC-MS analysis.
Materials And Methods: An activity-guided fractionation and purification process was used to identify the antioxidative components from I . mauritiana tuber. Dried mature tubers of I. mauritiana were extracted with 80% methanol and then partitioned by chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone, and methanol. The acetone fraction showed the strongest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity among four fractions and was subjected to separation and purification using preparative reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Results: Two compounds were separated from the acetone fraction using preparative LC fraction collector. The purified compounds were screened for their antioxidative potential using DPPH assay. The compounds were subjected to LC-MS analysis in ESI negative mode. One of the compounds was identified as Caffeoyl glucose based on the mass fragmentation.
Conclusion: The acetone fraction showed highest radical scavenging activity and the phytoconstituents of the same were identified by LC-MS/MS analysis.

The brown alga (SF) is historically consumed as a food material in Japan. A steaming process is often required for SF products on the market due to their moderate hardness and astringent taste. This investigation aimed to elucidate the effect of steaming on the anti-diabetic activity of SF and its related chemical components.

Article Synopsis
- A study monitored 61 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from three pharmaceutical companies in Shandong Province, establishing their emission profiles and measuring their potential impact on ozone formation.
- Average total VOC emissions varied widely, with organized emissions ranging from 6,055.46 to 10,700.10 μg/m and unorganized emissions from 3,665.65 to 6,616.03 μg/m; halogenated hydrocarbons dominated organized emissions while OVOCs were predominant in unorganized emissions.
- The treatment facilities showed varying efficiencies, with halogenated hydrocarbons being the least effectively treated; total annual emissions were reported between 1.16 to 3.66 tons, with the highest OVOCs

Tuberculosis is a worldwide prevalent and recurring disease that contributes significantly to high mortality rates. This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant, anti-mycobacterial, and antibiofilm activities of acetone crude extract. The crude acetone extract was fractionated using column chromatography and characterized by liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LC-MS).
